Chess in Mumbai
Mumbai has one of India's deepest chess benches, from the long-running Maharashtra state circuit to school tournaments across the western and central suburbs. Getting a child to a coaching centre in Andheri or Dadar after school can cost more time in traffic than the lesson itself, which is why families across Borivali, Thane and Navi Mumbai increasingly choose live online coaching instead.
Plans are priced in INR for Indian families, with group classes starting at ₹4,500 per month and private 1-on-1 coaching from ₹8,000.
What class timings suit Mumbai school schedules?
Classes run in IST, with the most popular slots between 4 pm and 9 pm on weekdays after school, plus morning and afternoon options on weekends.
Do you also run offline classes in Mumbai?
Yes — we run in-person batches in Virar West. Everywhere else in Mumbai is served by live online classes with the same coaches and curriculum.
What parents in Mumbai say
My son joined ChessMates 4 months ago and his focus in school has improved dramatically. The coaches are excellent and IST timings work perfectly for us!
We tried a local chess class but online 1-on-1 coaching at ChessMates is on another level. My daughter is now solving tactics puzzles she never could before.
Lalit sir's structured 196-lesson curriculum gives my son a clear path forward. The progress reports after every class are incredibly helpful as a parent.
